The Cardinals went 92–61 during the season and finished second in the National League. Offseason December 20, 1926: Rogers Hornsby was traded by the Cardinals to the New York Giants for Frankie Frisch and Jimmy Ring.Rogers Hornsby page at Baseball Reference In a deal that shocked the baseball world, the Cardinals traded long-time star Rogers Hornsby on December 20, 1926, to the New York Giants for Frankie Frisch and Jimmy Ring. The deal was held up because Hornsby, as part of his contract as the manager of the Cardinals (he was a player-manager at the time), owned several shares of stock in the Cardinals. Cardinals owner Sam Breadon offered Hornsby a sum for the stock considerably lower than what Hornsby demanded for it, and neither would budge. Eventually, the other owners of the National League made up the difference, and the trade went through.February 2011 Regular season Season standings St. Louis Cardinals Record vs. opponents STL Roster 1927 St. Louis Cardinals Roster Pitchers Pete Alexander Hi Bell Eddie Dyer Fred Frankhouse Jesse Haines Syl Johnson Tony Kaufmann Vic Keen Carlisle Littlejohn Bob McGraw Art Reinhart Flint Rhem Jimmy Ring Bill Sherdel Catchers Bob O'Farrell Bobby Schang Johnny Schulte Frank Snyder Infielders Les Bell Jim Bottomley Frankie Frisch Rabbit Maranville Heinie Schuble Tommy Thevenow Specs Toporcer Outfielders Ray Blades Danny Clark Taylor Douthit Chick Hafey Wattie Holm Ernie Orsatti Homer Peel Wally Roettger Billy Southworth Manager Bob O'Farrell Coaches Allen Sothoron Player stats Batting Starters by position Note: Pos = Position; G = Games played; AB = At bats; H = Hits; Avg. = Batting average; HR = Home runs; RBI = Runs batted in Pos Player G AB H Avg.
